What Causes Hoarse Voice And Constant Cough?
My dr just told me I have a growth on my thyroid but my labs for my thyroid are fine, im 31. And already had an ultrasound with no answers yet what could this mean? Could I have cancer? My voice is hoarse and I have a cough constantly at night, I'm terrified.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having some irritation producing cough reflex.
As there is history of hoarseness of voice there might be having some swelling or nodule on the vocal cord.
This nodule or swelliing can give rise to cough reflex and hoarseness of voice.
You might require indirect laryngoscopy for nodule on vocal cord.
Consult ENT surgeon and get examined.
Quit smoking or chewing Gutkha if you are having habit of it.
Ok and take care.
